Tito Jackson Visited Michael Jackson Memorial in Germany Days Ahead of His Own Death

Ahead of his unexpected death, Tito Jackson visited a memorial in Munich honoring his late brother Michael Jackson.

On his Instagram, Tito shared a message as he and his brothers Jackie and Marlon visited the site. “We’re deeply grateful for this special place that honors not only his memory but also our shared legacy. Thank you for keeping his spirit alive,” Tito wrote.

Tito Jackson passed away at the age of 70.

His sons, Taj, Taryll, and TJ Jackson, confirmed the news early Monday via a heartfelt Instagram tribute. The news was initially reported by “ET,” with Steve Manning, a longtime family friend and former manager, revealing that Jackson passed away on Sunday.

“It will forever be ‘Tito Time’ for us,” the sons wrote. “Please remember to do what our father always preached and that is ‘Love One Another.’ We love you Pops.”

Tito, along with his brothers Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael, became a Motown sensation as part of the Jackson 5, later known as The Jacksons. The group’s string of Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits, including “I Want You Back,” “ABC,” “The Love You Save,” and “I’ll Be There,” sparked the siblings dancing and singing their way into the hearts of millions under the guidance of their father, Joe Jackson.

In 1997, Tito and the Jackson 5 were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Throughout his career with the group, they earned three Grammy nominations for Best R&B Performance and Best Contemporary Vocal Performance by a duo or group. Over the years, they released 16 studio albums, 10 as the Jackson 5 and six as The Jacksons, achieving widespread success both as a group and as individuals.

Tito also pursued a solo career, releasing Tito Time in 2016 and Under Your Spell in 2021. As recently as last year, he collaborated with Brazilian artist Natalia Damini on their song “Attitude” and its accompanying music video.

Tito Jackson, former member of the Jackson 5 and brother of Janet and Michael Jackson, is dead at 70 years old.

Tito’s (real name Toriano Adaryll Jackson) sons TJ, Taj, and Taryll confirmed his death on Instagram late last night/early this morning (September 16), writing:

“It’s with heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved father, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tito Jackson is no longer with us. We are shocked, saddened and heartbroken. Our father was an incredible man who cared about everyone and their well-being. Some of you may know him as Tito Jackson from the legendary Jackson 5, some may know him as ‘Coach Tito’ or some know him as ‘Poppa T.’ Nevertheless, he will be missed tremendously. It will forever be ‘Tito Time’ for us. Please remember to do what our father always preached and that is ‘Love One Another.’ We love you Pops.

Your boys,

Taj, Taryll and TJ.”

Tito’s nephew Siggy Jackson also confirmed the news to People, while Steve Manning, a former Jackson family manager, told Entertainment Tonight he “believes” Tito suffered a heart attack while driving from New Mexico to Oklahoma.

Tito was born in Gary, Indiana on October 15, 1953. He was an original member of the Jackson 5 (later known as the Jacksons) and was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame as a member of the group. He released his first solo album, Tito Time, in 2016, and it spawned two singles that landed on the Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart: “Get It Baby” featuring Big Daddy Kane and “One Way Street.” His final album released during his lifetime was 2021’s Under Your Spell.

In a 2021 interview with the Grammy Awards, Tito said, “I’m proud of my career. I wish I had the head I have now about my career when I was much younger. I could have done a lot more when I was younger. But I’m proud of my accomplishments — the records that we hold as well as the inductees and all of these other things. Like I said, what else do I have to prove? […] It’s just been great, you know? The brothers don’t record like we used to, but I think it’s important to keep on singing a song as long as there’s a song to sing.”
